Does Jones lose the Title if he Loses by DQ?

[bat_country]

I am picturing a scenario where Jones is losing, and to avoid losing his belt, he intentionally eye pokes DC and the ref happens to see it. DC can't continue, so Jones looses by disqualification. Would he also happen to drop the belt in that scenario?

Jones is pretty smart about using the rules to his advantage, and this may be a way for him to retain the belt.


What if he sucker punches DC before the fight during the stare down, and it is ruled a NC. Does he lose the belt also?

Yes he loses the belt in a DQ.

In the staredown:
If the fight goes on, it goes on and JJ likely is fined by the commission.
If it doest go on (he injures Cormier) he'd likely be stripped of the belt by the UFC and suspended and/or fined by the commission.

In a just universe Jones would lose the belt by DQ for eye poking.

Disqualification = loss.

But of course that would likely wind up in an immediate rematch.

Yep! Just ask Jon Bones!

Wouldn't it be a mindfuck if DC got DQed for poking Jones in the eye?

Could be because technically the fights hasn't started or something like that.

Dude said if Jones was losing then did a DQ move didn't he?

No, they were talking about Jones sucker punching DC during the staredown.
